Every successful Christian leader looks for and sees God’s face, listens for and hears His voice. We can come to see and actually know God, Who is present to us in every situation of our lives. This vision and knowledge is essential for you and me to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:16-20). The theme for the 2014 Retreat is “Listen to me! Go and make disciples of all nations!”
